To get started with Kallithea development::

        hg clone https://kallithea-scm.org/repos/kallithea

        cd kallithea

        virtualenv ../kallithea-venv

        source ../kallithea-venv/bin/activate

        pip install --upgrade pip setuptools

        pip install --upgrade -e .

        pip install --upgrade -r dev_requirements.txt

        npm install     # install dependencies - both tools and data

        npm run less    # for generating css from less

        kallithea-cli config-create my.ini

        gearbox serve -c my.ini --reload &

        firefox http://127.0.0.1:5000/

If you plan to use Bitbucket_ for sending contributions, you can also fork

Kallithea on Bitbucket_ first (https://bitbucket.org/conservancy/kallithea) and

then replace the clone step above by a clone of your fork. In this case, please

see :ref:`contributing-guidelines` below for configuring your fork correctly.

Contribution flow

-----------------

    kallithea-cli config-create temp.ini

   Edit the file to change database settings. SQLite is typically fine,

   but make sure to change the path to e.g. ``temp.db``, to avoid

   clobbering any existing database file.

3. Make your code changes (including database schema changes in ``db.py``).

4. After every database schema change, recreate the throwaway database

   to test the changes::

    rm temp.db

    kallithea-cli repo-scan -c temp.ini

5. Once satisfied with the schema changes, auto-generate a draft Alembic

   script using the development database that has *not* been upgraded.

   (The generated script will upgrade the database to match the code.)

   ::

    alembic -c development.ini revision -m "area: add cool feature" --autogenerate

6. Edit the script to clean it up and fix any problems.

  cd C:\Kallithea\Bin

  kallithea-cli config-create my.ini

Then you must edit my.ini to fit your needs (IP address, IP

port, mail settings, database, etc.). `NotePad++`__ or a similar text

editor is recommended to properly handle the newline character

differences between Unix and Windows.

__ http://notepad-plus-plus.org/

For the sake of simplicity, run it with the default settings. After your edits (if any) in the previous command prompt, type::

.. warning:: This time a *new* database will be installed. You must

             follow a different process to later :ref:`upgrade <upgrade>`

             to a newer Kallithea version.

The script will ask you for confirmation about creating a new database, answer yes (y)

The script will ask you for the repository path, answer C:\\Kallithea\\Repos (or similar).

The script will ask you for the admin username and password, answer "admin" + "123456" (or whatever you want)

The script will ask you for admin mail, answer "admin@xxxx.com" (or whatever you want).

  cd C:\Kallithea\Bin

  kallithea-cli config-create my.ini

Then, you must edit my.ini to fit your needs (network address and

port, mail settings, database, whatever). I recommend using NotePad++

(free) or similar text editor, as it handles well the EndOfLine

character differences between Unix and Windows

(http://notepad-plus-plus.org/)

For the sake of simplicity lets run it with the default settings. After

your edits (if any), in the previous Command Prompt, type::

.. warning:: This time a *new* database will be installed. You must

             follow a different process to later :ref:`upgrade <upgrade>`

             to a newer Kallithea version.

The script will ask you for confirmation about creating a NEW database,

answer yes (y)

The script will ask you for repository path, answer C:\\Kallithea\\Repos

(or similar)

The script will ask you for admin username and password, answer "admin"

+ "123456" (or whatever you want)

The script will ask you for admin mail, answer "admin@xxxx.com" (or

proxy port, email settings, usage of static files, cache, Celery

settings, and logging. Extra settings can be specified like::

    kallithea-cli config-create my.ini host=8.8.8.8 "[handler_console]" formatter=color_formatter

Next, you need to create the databases used by Kallithea. It is recommended to

use PostgreSQL or SQLite (default). If you choose a database other than the

default, ensure you properly adjust the database URL in your ``my.ini``

configuration file to use this other database. Kallithea currently supports

PostgreSQL, SQLite and MySQL databases. Create the database by running

the following command::

This will prompt you for a "root" path. This "root" path is the location where

Kallithea will store all of its repositories on the current machine. After

up for you.

Example::

admin account. When choosing a root path you can either use a new

empty location, or a location which already contains existing

repositories. If you choose a location which contains existing

repositories Kallithea will add all of the repositories at the chosen

location to its database.  (Note: make sure you specify the correct

path to the root).

.. note:: the given path for Mercurial_ repositories **must** be write

          accessible for the application. It's very important since

          the Kallithea web interface will work without write access,

          but when trying to do a push it will fail with permission

          denied errors unless it has write access.

You are now ready to use Kallithea. To run it simply execute::

    gearbox serve -c my.ini

- This command runs the Kallithea server. The web app should be available at

  http://127.0.0.1:5000. The IP address and port is configurable via the

  configuration file created in the previous step.

- The default permissions on each repository is read, and the owner is admin.

  Remember to update these if needed.

- In the admin panel you can toggle LDAP, anonymous, and permissions

  settings, as well as edit more advanced options on users and

  repositories.

Internationalization (i18n support)

-----------------------------------

The Kallithea web interface is automatically displayed in the user's preferred

language, as indicated by the browser. Thus, different users may see the

A benefit of this method particular for Git repositories, is that the

Kallithea-specific Git hooks are installed automatically.  For Mercurial, no

hooks are required anyway.

Importing via the filesystem

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The alternative method of importing repositories consists of creating the

repositories in the desired hierarchy on the filesystem and letting Kallithea

scan that location.

All repositories are stored in a central location on the filesystem. This

at *Admin > Settings > VCS > Location of repositories*. Repository groups

(defined in *Admin > Repository Groups*) are represented by a directory in that

repository location. Repositories of the repository group are nested under that

directory.

To import a set of repositories and organize them in a certain repository group

structure, first place clones in the desired hierarchy at the configured

repository location.

These clones should be created without working directory. For Mercurial, this is

done with ``hg clone -U``, for Git with ``git clone --bare``.

When the repositories are added correctly on the filesystem:

# [alembic] sqlalchemy.url.

database_url = (

    config.get_main_option('sqlalchemy.url') or

    config.get_section_option('app:main', 'sqlalchemy.url')

)

# Configure default logging for Alembic. (This can be overriden by the

# config file, but usually isn't.)

logging.getLogger('alembic').setLevel(logging.INFO)

# Setup Python loggers based on the config file provided to the alembic

# command. If we're being invoked via the Alembic API (presumably for

# and loggers are assumed to already have been configured.

if config.config_file_name:

    fileConfig(config.config_file_name, disable_existing_loggers=False)

    """Filter changes subject to autogeneration of migrations. """
